Maybe I have micro-clots, which are a known long-term complication of Covid.

It could also be that you have a clot somewhere that was not scanned.

Are you on some anti-clot medicine?

No, not anymore, except what they gave me as an emergency boost yesterday because of the high D-dimer.

You're all so kind. Unfortunately I will die. the only question is when. I got checked out by the GP. She was fairly happy with the results she got from her checks, but as a precaution, she's arranged blood test, chest X-ray and ECG.

Good to hear you're being checked out by professionals.

I still don't understand why you selected the harder to pedal torque sensored Tongsheng TSDZ2. Is your motor a TSDZ2? Hard to tell what your motor is, TSDZ02? TSDZ2B? If TSDZ2, perhaps you could look into going the OSF route, to make your cycling easier?

If it must be a mid-drive for whatever mysterious purpose your bike is for, considering your health concerns: an easy to pedal a cadence sensored 36V BBS01B set to 720W using a programming cable seems a safer choice. Some people hate Bafang mid-drive high cadence. I got used to it, being a fast twiddling style pedaller from the 80's racing bike days.

I chose the TSDZ2 because I have a trailer that fits to a QR skewer. Also, I expect to be climbing real mountains whilst towing. I think it'll be OK when I get back to full health. I have my hub-motor bike for normal riding.

Guess what? I came to the hospital clinic to get some drugs or something. Now they've admitted me and I've got no stuff. If only they'd told me first. Sounds like I'm going to get some serious drugs that they need to keep an eye on. I've no idea how long I'm going to be here. I hope they're not planning to bump me off.

Best wishes mate.

Install @Nealh's copper heatsink mod? I can't find a pic. There may be silicone and gunge involved, unsure.

Where will you be going touring and when?

Exciting reports expected.

He's got to wait, because the pass to Shangri-La is blocked by snow for much of the year. Enlightenment and immortality by ebike, plus oodles of gold.

I thought he'd already done the 'enlightenment' thing.

As for Shangri-La, I've been there and these days it is not all it's cracked up to be . Too many Irish bars and roughians. I prefer the Auvergne myself.

Good news. I went out for a short hilly ride today, pedalled moderately hard, and my heartbeat hardly went over 120. Maybe the emergency blood thinners helped or the covid has retreated further. I don't care either way, I'm still getting better every day - only the gall stones to sort and now, and I guess someone still needs to answer why my D-dimer was 20 times what it is supposed to be. It's just the weather that's bothering me now.
